On Wednesday the House Health and Social Services committee heard testimony from multiple experts on Governor Mike Dunleavy’s proposed bifurcation of the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS). The overwhelming sentiment from these experts was that the proposed split would do more harm than good to the people who rely on DHSS.
In late December 2020, Dunleavy announced his intention to split DHSS into two separate departments, the Alaska Department of Health and the Alaska Department of Family and Community Services. This split was aimed at streamlining and improving service delivery while creating more flexibility in departments.
